Series 5 - Purpose-Built Performance in Open Architecture Control System
Series 5 family of products was created based on user’s needs to have turbomachinery control that bridges the gap between general-purpose and purpose-built control systems. Purpose-built controls offer high performance but can be costly to support. General-purpose control equipment (PLC and DCS) is flexible and more affordable, but lacks the power and speed to do fully capable turbomachinery control. Serious performance compromises are required to utilize such platforms for the control of turbocompressors, gas turbines and steam turbines. Yet, control platforms based on open architectures are very attractive to many turbomachinery control customers.
Series 5 strikes a balance between the high performance of purpose-built controls and the openness of general-purpose controls without compromising the control and protection of the turbomachinery.
The newly-introduced Vibrant™ (vibration protection and condition monitoring) system, expands CCC's trademarked Total Train Control® (TTC) offering on the Series 5 platform to include vibration protection and condition monitoring.
Continuing CCC tradition of the highest performance turbomachinery controls, Series 5 offers execution times as fast as 10 milliseconds. It offers the most complete integration of continuous control and sequencing for turbomachinery. Plus, it incorporates numerous open standards; including IEC-61131 programming environment, cPCI bus architecture (compact Peripheral Component Interconnect bus - the same architecture as your PC), ProfiBus for Remote I/O network, Ethernet, OPC, and more. Series 5 is the most open and user friendly CCC control system ever. It is highly scalable - just as suitable for a simple, single section, motor driven centrifugal compressor as it is for a network of several multi-section gas turbine driven compressors. Series 5 is also an effective powerful choice for generator and pump drive turbines.
With the introduction of Series 5, CCC’s staff of knowledgeable and experienced turbomachinery control engineers continues to meet customer needs, improve customer operations and increase customer profits.
